Pattern Configuration
[SOURce[1]:]PATTern:UPATtern<n>:LABel <string>
Defines a character string of up to 14 characters that is associated with the pattern. This is
to make it easy for the user to comprehend the purpose of the particular pattern without
having to refer to a lookup table.
The character data values of MINimum, MAXimum and DEFault are not defined for the
label.
The *RST command leaves this selection unchanged.
[SOURce[1]:]PATTern:UPATtern<n>:USE STRaight|APATtern
Defines the use of a user-defined pattern. When STRaight is selected the whole of the
pattern is repeatedly output. When APATtern is selected the pattern is considered to be
composed of two halves. The “:APCHange” command controls how these two halves are
output.
The “USE” command also resets the length of selected pattern store to one.
For user-patterns used in the STRaight mode, the recommended sequence of issuing
commands is:
SOURce1:PATTern:UPATtern<n>:USE STRaight
SOURce1:PATTern:UPATtern<n>[:LENGth] <numeric value>
SOURce1:PATTern:UPATtern<n>:DATA <block data>
SOURce3:TRIGger:UPATtern<n> <numeric value>
For user-patterns used in the APATtern mode, the recommended sequence of issuing
commands is:
SOURce1:PATTern:UPATtern<n>:USE APATtern
SOURce1:PATTern:UPATtern<n>[:LENGth] <numeric value>
SOURce1:PATTern:UPATtern<n>:DATA A,<block data>
SOURce1:PATTern:UPATtern<n>:DATA B,<block data>
SOURce3:TRIGger:UPATtern<n> ABCHange|SOPattern
The *RST command leaves this selection unchanged.
